HILLSDALE — A Hillsdale man who claimed to have just recently checked out of psychiatric care was arraigned on 10 felony charges in Hillsdale County District Court Monday.

Cody Allen Lotridge, 24, is accused of assaulting his mother a shovel and attacking police officers, which led to him being subdued with a taser.

Lotridge was officially arraigned on five counts of resisting/obstructing/assaulting an officer, one count of malicious destruction of police property, one count of malicious destruction of property more than $1,000, one count of interfering with an electronic communications, one count assault with a dangerous weapon, one count of larceny in a building and one count of breaking and entering with intent to harm.

Officers from the Hillsdale Police Department were dispatched on a call Saturday night for a domestic violence call. It is alleged that Lotridge broke into his mother's home and assaulted her with a shovel. When she tried to call police he is accused of taking the phone from her.

He is also accused of destroying the inside of his mother's home during the incident.

When police arrived, Lotridge allegedly came at officers, who had to use a taser in order to place him under arrest. Upon getting into the police vehicle, he allegedly banged his head against the window of the car causing damage.

He appeared in court via video conferencing from the Hillsdale County Jail, where he told Judge Donald Sanderson that he recently left a psych ward and was under the influence of intoxicants during the incident.

He is also accused of stealing a phone from a store earlier in the day.

"I really don't remember it," Lotridge said. "I've been drinking and getting high for two days."

Lotridge said he was living with his mother at the site of the alleged attack and didn't know why he was being charged with breaking and entering as he lived there. Sanderson said that charge will be examined along with the others when Lotridge returns to court.

Lotridge went on to ask Sanderson if he could be sent back to psychiatric care as he was seeing and hearing things and was worried he wouldn't make good decisions in jail while awaiting his next court appearance. Sanderson denied the request and set his bond at $5,000 with 10 percent allowed for the phone theft and $50,000 with 10 percent allowed on the other charges.

Sanderson granted Lotridge a court-appointed lawyer and said he can discuss bond after Lotridge meets with his lawyer next week. Lotridge will next appear in court on Nov. 6 at 10:30 a.m. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prion for the breaking and entering charge.
